Anyone know how to set up an excel spreadsheet to show me how much I might have in my 401K after 25/30 years at Delta assuming 3% raises after 2015 and making maybe 3% on the capital in the 401K?

Check out google docs - free, easy, and cloudy(you can pull it up anywhere). They have some handy formula tools as well to help you with the math.

IF the DC-9 goes away can we get some of these? Seems better than the 717 even.

Looks nice, but slow. A cruise speed of M .74? Yuck.

Actually if I did the math right, and I probably didn't, by 2020 it isn't that bad, and that is only 12 years.
But now I'm not sure how the whole $17500 max works so I am sure I did it wrong

The routes I see the CR2 flying where it makes a lot of money are things like ATL-SDF or ATL-ROA or ATL-PHF, where it's the only option. If you say SDF-ATL-LAX or ROA-LAX or PHF-LAX, the ticket prices stay the same or even go down.

And I suspect if it's the only option, a CR7 or CR9 would work there too. They probably don't have enough of them, but they will soon!

I can't do much to Lee with 50,000 mute pilots behind me, now can I? But he still works for me. And he'll do as he pleases until he causes 50,000 people to revolt. Which won't ever happen. So it's a mute point for debate, really.
The profit sharing as a part of pay is a pitance compared to where compensation should be. You bought off on the "total compensation" angle management, and these guys sold. Ask FTB how the flight bennies "total compensation" part of things is working out lately. The outsourcing of Delta pilot captain jobs (where you actually get the kind of raise that makes a difference) is the type of buy off only undiscerning minds generally fall for. Sorry.

I hope we pay the 777/747 $400/hour. Remember, there are 500 starving captains out there that deserve that pay, because we all know how much harder it is to fly a big airplane than it is to fly a small one.
I get LBP, but the question is right now what would be better - a CR2 or CR9?

Or what would be a reason right now why the 7ER is better than M88? Pay might be one of them.

Probably the only one though.
